The Clock Tower is iconic symbol of Darjeeling, standing since the mid 19th Century of the colonial era. The Clock Tower was also featured in the Bollywood movie "Barfi".
The 100 foot high stone tower along with the town hall was built around the year 1920.The clock tower has four faces just like the Big Ben, an octagonal gable roof and a flag staff on top. It is located at the junction of Gandhi Road and Ladenla Road.
The Darjeeling Clock Tower located at the junction of Gandhi Road and Ladenla Road is now a much neglected heritage structure and has not kept up with the times, literally. It is still a prominent landmark of the city and the building on which it stands houses the Darjeeling Municipality. The Chowk market and the Mall market are at walking distance from the tower.
The 100 foot high stone tower along with the town hall was built around the year 1920. The hall is big enough for 600 people, there was a reading room and a square. The clock tower has four faces just like the Big Ben, an octagonal gable roof and a flag staff on top.
